The Lakers will be missing LeBron and Dlo tonight. Davis should play.
Very interested in seeing what Rudy, Conley and NAW offer tonight.
Reid drives me nuts defensively but the guy is really talented around the basket. He has a ton of moves going to the basket.
It looks like a must win game tonight.

The Bucks have a 16 GAME WIN STREAK. That is unfathomable. How do you play 768 minutes of winning basketball? How do you not have some terrible shooting nights, or a really bad quarter, or how does a team just not have a great night and start dropping bombs on you down the stretch? I couldn't possibly imagine the wolves ever stringing together competent ball long enough to do that. A 7 game win streak would feel like a miracle for this franchise.

I'm not liking the energy level for the Wolves. This feels way too similar to their losses against bad teams.

It feels like the game vs GSW. This is a playoff game. Win this one then we will end up ahead of Lakers in seeding anywhere from 7 to 10.

I expect Gobert to do a better job on Davis, that why we paid him the big bucks

Lakers have made a ton of hard shots. Hopefully that isn't unsustainable.

After I rip him, Reid played some good defense in that 1st qtr.

We really don't have anyone who can light it up outside of Ant and that is a problem.

This second unit is really struggling to create shots.

Jaden needs to go up strong when he is being guarded by Schroeder in the paint. That fadeway was and incredibly weak move.

Honestly, the next best candidates in terms of higher volume are probably Towns and Garza

Why would you even consider passing to Rudy in transition when he doesn't have a clear path to the basket?

McDaniels is a damn menace. Guarding everyone on the court including Davis. And I love Walker-Alexander's game. A very nice addition.

Isn't it nice to see Rivers and Nowell on the bench?

I really like NAW in the rotation over Rivers and Nowell.

Maybe it's NAW lol. I thought he would be a star back in the summer league. Not too late! XD

Offensive rebounds keeping the Lakers close. If the Wolves could secure rebounds they would have a nice lead. I still say that Minott should be given a chance. He is one of the few Wolves players who goes hard after rebounds.
